Mario Gotze was the guy who scored the winning goal for Germany in the 2014 World Cup final against Argentina. He has made a comeback to the national team after returning to the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt this season.

Marco Reus had already missed the 2014 World Cup and now he is injured again. It’s sad to announce that he will not be going to Qatar to play for Germany.
“He tried everything to catch this train. It hurts us because we could have used his quality,” Flick said.
Germany’s Best starting XI
Leory Sane and Serge Gnabry – Germany has got two of the best wingers in the world, not to mention one of the fastest duos of the generation. They are going to create problems for wing backs in the upcoming tournament.
Kai Havertz – Chelsea’s striker will have the very responsibility of scoring goals in the World Cup for Germany. Let us tell you that he was one of the players who won the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League title.
Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka – Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich is undoubtedly one of the greatest midfielders on this generation. Moreover, he will have the support of another fantastic player Leon Goretzka.
